Plotting equatorial slices
==========================

This example shows how to plot slices in the equatorial plane from a MAS model
output.

First, load the required modules.


.. code-block:: default

    from psipy.model import MASOutput
    import matplotlib.pyplot as plt








Next, load a set of MAS output files. You will need to change this line to
point to a folder with MAS files in them.


.. code-block:: default

    mas_path = '/Users/dstansby/github/psipy/data/helio'
    model = MASOutput(mas_path)








Each MAS model contains a number of variables. The variable names can be
accessed using the ``.variables`` attribute.


.. code-block:: default

    print(model.variables)





.. rst-class:: sphx-glr-script-out

 Out:

 .. code-block:: none

    ['p', 't', 'va', 'br', 'vp', 'jp', 'jr', 'bp', 'vr', 'bt', 'vt', 'rho', 'jt']




Set parameters for plotting. This line will give us a horizontal
errorbar underneath the plots.


.. code-block:: default

    cbar_kwargs = {'orientation': 'horizontal'}








Plot the slices


.. code-block:: default

    ax = plt.subplot(projection='polar')
    model['vr'].plot_equatorial_cut(ax=ax, cbar_kwargs=cbar_kwargs)

    plt.show()
